    Default Vintage Nortons becoming the new Eschers?

    Looks like this Norton will fetch more than the average Escher.

    As I understand it, I believe hi_bud_gl, posted about it, the axe-men are the ones who drives the prices on these thru the roof.
    According to the same gentleman, they are supposed to be all that

    Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

    As far as I remember, it has been that way for at least the 2+ years I've been into straights. As Bir says, I'm not sure if it's razor people, though.

    What if you thought that rock would make every razor shave like a Filly? Present me wouldn't spend that, either, but disgusting rich me who I wouldn't mind being in the future will take a whole case and send his man servant to pick it up.

    The axe guys want there axes razor sharp as there's real money in winning contests. $600 for a stone is very easily justified when the prize pool is $40,000 for a contest. Funny how belief systems start tho. There would have to be any number of stones out there could do the same job or maybe better.
    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
